[QUOTE="Old Bill, post: 121985, member: 1683"] Like Robert l have been using Michelin tubes with good results, however trials type tubes are not suitable for road use long term as being of thick wall construction they have a tendency to overheat leading to failure according to several tube manufacturers. One other point is temperature pressure variation, which can vary up to 2-4 lbs, that is from cold to hot so probably the best way to check is immediately prior to a ride with the machine parked outside in its operating atmospheric temperature. A machine parked in my workshop which is cold with tyres set at 28psi will often read 26 when left outside for a short while so that may account for the variation? Mind how you go...... [/QUOTE]
